You Never Knew How Much CGI These Shows and Movies Really Used

Even in the early stages of production, Spielberg planned to keep CGI to a minimum—especially when compared to the 2,000 VFX shots used in 2015's Jurassic World. While the advancements of CGI were certainly limited back in 1993, Jurassic Park revolutionized the use of tasteful computer graphics. The film earned a well-deserved Oscar for Best Visual Effects at the 1994 Academy Awards.
